D.1 CREATE KEYS USING L3HARRIS KEY ADMIN
L3Harris Key Admin is part of the L3Harris Key Manager and is used by the Crypto Officer (CO).
The CO creates a Master Set of keys from which a Distribution Set is produced. Using the Key
Admin software, the CO can save keys into Distribution key files for technicians to use in radios.
1. Select Start  Harris Key Manager  Harris Key Admin.
2. Select New Master Set, Open, or Import from Security Device. Refer to the Key Admin
online help for more information on creating keys.
3. When finished, create a Distribution Key File. A Distribution Key File is used with Key Loader
to load key sets into the radio and cannot be edited. Refer to the Key Admin online help for
more information on creating the Distribution Key File.
D.2 LOAD ENCRYPTION KEYS
D.2.1
Load UKEKS with Key Loader and RPM2 (for OTAR-Enabled Systems)
UKEKs are loaded into L3Harris OTAR-enabled radios using the Key Loader application. Key
Loader is a part of Key Manager.
To load encryption keys:
1. Obtain the UKEK file and Storage Location Number (SLN) Binding Report information from
the Crypto Officer (CO).
Both AES and DES UKEKs can be contained within the same UKEK file.
NOTE
2. If not already on, power-up the PC on which RPM2 and Key Loader are installed.
3. Connect the radio to the PC using the USB programming cable.
4. Load the UKEK file from the Crypto Officer onto the PC.
5. Run the RPM2 application and setup the radio's Personality according the SLN Binding Report
information.
